Lasting Memories 513 - travel

Lasting Memories 513 - travel

This month we would like to celebrate the wonders of the world and celebrate different cultures. So please come along each week and let us guide you on this journey.

To begin our challenges this month we will have an easy one. We want to see layering of words. Title + Sub Title + Journaling. Plus we would like to see the word TRAVEL within the Title or Sub Title.

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

When in doubt TRAVEL
Collect Memories, not things
plus there is journaling in the tag next to the title.. 

I am loving this "New Adventures" collection from Couture Creations...
It comes with a huge range of corresponding stamps and die cuts with it.. I think I bought one or two of everything with it was released in June... lol

This was actually a very easy layout to put together.. I don't have a heap to tell you about it.. 

I tore the top piece and middle piece, stuck to the base.. 

Fussy cut some flowers and cut out the dies, then layered with a bunch of ephemera already cut out.. 

The tag between the the photo and the title has journaling on it about the huge over 12 hour day of travelling (cars and planes) the day this photo was taken.. lol

Although my "TRAVEL" words aren't layered on top of each other, there are two titles and journaling included in this layout.. 

What do you think?

 Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the creations for the Lasting Memories Design Team! 

I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. There is plenty of options for this challenge theme, we all have some travel photos laying around somewhere.. lol 

Thanks again, Toni.. xoxo

Lasting Memories 512 - Special occasion (Christmas)

512 - Christmas

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Joy to the World

Righto..... This one..... man, did I love this one crafters!!

I really wish I could give you all a 3D view of this baby.. 

The photo was taken at the White Christmas evenings that the Movie World theme park hold each year.. My boys and I LOVED it!!  During an exclusive access dinner, we were able to have photos with loads of Christmas themed characters.. There is a "Fairy Land" section at the park for Christmas, so the Fairies came for a photo op visit too... Boy didn't I jump up quick for a photo.. I didn't even ask my kids if they wanted a photo too... nope nope, step aside, Mummies turn!! 

\

The photos just don't do it justice!

The layers are something even I thought I had outdone myself with.. haha.. 

Truthfully though, I would have loved to have been able to make them higher.. I was careful and used restraint with how high they ended up.. 

Using papers from the Scrapboys - Winter Cotton collection, I actually cut a 12x12 piece almost in half and then stick it end to end in the middle.. So instead of the reindeer being on the bottom of the paper, it's now in the middle.. 

Then came lots of fussy cutting! A full sheet of frames was randomly placed under the photo.. plus half of the designed fussy cut sheet pieces were slipped between the layers to add the dimension.. Of course I couldn't go past that awesome new Uniquely Creative doily diecut that I recently picked up.. It cuts so perfectly!! darn thing to clean out though.. haha.. 

Finally some super cut washi strips finished it all off.. 

What do you think?

White With One - Lemon Bliss

We've had a sunshine shortage lately here in central Qld.. It's out, but darn it's still too cool for my likings.. lol  Glad that it starts to warm up again this month and we find our way knocking on the door for Spring.. 
So this month, we would love to challenge you to use a cool Lemon Bliss colour and of course the sketch too if you wish.. 

  

WHITE WITH ONE - CHALLENGE BLOG

COOL

Such a FUN layout! 

So bright and makes this photo pop.. 

Firstly I started off with some yellow misting spray, just to give the back a texture element to catch the eye behind the layers.. I dug into my stash to find this awesome yellow tissue paper, as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use this as a featured base piece behind the photos.. Then a yellow & white stripped pocket in the back, holds my journal tag.. 

To add the layers and flow to the layout, I put down some stars and a couple of other embellishments to complete the look..  The scribbling though was just a stroke of genies on my behalf of course... haha... It didn't quite feel finished, but added that just gave me that "ahhhh yep done" feeling.. :) 

What do you think?

Lasting Memories - 508 - sketch - flawless

#508 - Sketch
Final sketch this month to reach the end of the month.. I LOVED working with this one! 

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

flawless

I truly have no words for just how beautiful this young lady is.. And WOW how much fun it is being able to create using Ella's photos are such a pleasure.. I am very lucky that I have friends that will allow me to use their daughters to feature on girly layouts when I need.. 

This layout uses the Uniquely Creative - Urban Garden collection, It is made from one patter paper piece. Torn just over half way and flipped.. The embellishments are all fussy cut from the collection sheet.. I did add some pretty pink roses from my stash and some gold sploshes on the background to highlight the gold glitter on El's face in the photos.. Such a lovely boho beach theme... I really can't get enough of these photos!!! 

I was so happy to get a Canon Selphy for Mother's Day back in May and have used it a few times now to quickly print off photos... It's great cause it means I can scrap the photos I actually WANT to scrap instead of either wasting time going to the shops and waiting, ordering online and waiting or just using whatever I have instead... This printer is a real game changer for me and let's me set the photos up first.. 

What do you think?

Lasting Memories - 507 - sketch -picture perfect

#507 - sketch
This month we are ALL ABOUT SKETCHES

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Picture Perfect

Hey crafters... How are you doing?

So glad to have you back today to share another Lasting Memories DT layout with you all.

Another sketch this month and I am loving it. As many of you know I'm always up for a sketch and most of the time I like to put my own spin on it in some way or another.. lol

So using this super pretty Coco Vanilla papers, a couple of Prima flowers and some wooden embellishments from the collection sticker pack - I was able to throw this one together pretty quickly actually.. 

Don't forget the trusty old bit of spray mist on the back of the layout to give some extra texture and element with the twine around the title.. Love the simplicity of this layout.. :) 

I will be adding a little white journal tag in that empty space under the photo too. But as usual, I like to leave that until after I take the photos for my blog, as sometimes they are personal words. 

What do you think?

Lasting Memories 505 - sketch - fun

Lasting Memories - #505 - Sketch
Welcome to a fun month ahead for July... We are challenging you with a brand new sketch every week!! 

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

FUN 

As most of you know what have followed my posts, know that I LOVE sketches! So this month was definitely one of favs as a DT member... 

I changed the sketch up a bit to fit my own feel and style as I'm not really into using quite so many photos on layouts..  

These photos feature my gorgeous friend and her children... 

I really wanted to have that tropical feel, so added some stamped leaves under the first big mat piece..  I loved using all of these mats to create layers and depth to my page.. 

The printed die cuts (leaves, "fun" and the anchor) are from Scrapbook Fantasies - they are custom designs of that store. 

I fussy cut out the pink flowers from a Uniquely Creative sheet and added plenty of foam tape to get those layers popping! 

I recently got myself a wreath die, I have been wanting one for SOOO LONG!!! 

But they can be quite expensive for my budget, so when I saw this Sizzix one on sale at Spotlight, I jumped on it.. Plus this new Mesh die from Couture Creations really holds it's place for the spot for that middle photo in sketch.. 

What do you think?
